If a Catholic man sires a child outside of his marriage as a good Christian should he acknowledge he is the child's father what would Jesus do?
Jesus would never deny a child and he would stand for his mistakes. He would see the child as nothing but positive. Denying the child his/hers father is not a Christian thing to do. The child has done nothing wrong. Legally you will have no choice since you will be obligated to pay child support. DNA tests will prove who the father is whether you acknowledge it or not.

What if married outside the church and can't have a catholic priest at the ceremony How do you get the church to recognize your marriage?
The question needs to be expanded as there are many things to consider. A Catholic can marry outside the church as long as it is in another Christian church and recognized by the Catholic church if the non catholic party agrees to your oath to raise the children as Catholic. The priest does not have to be present. The marriage must be in church, it cannot be outside the church in a garden or country club, unless the non-catholic party is Jewish or Muslim (out of respect) and again agrees to the children being brought up as Catholic If two catholics are married by a Justice of the Peace outside of church they can have their marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,as long as this was first marriage for both.

Does a person who is married in the Catholic Church divorces and remarries outside of the Catholic Church and is now divorced go to communion?
your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it.

If a Christian wants to marry a Catholic what must take place in order to have the wedding?
It is assumed that by Christian you mean someone who is not Catholic but is of a Christian denomination, as Catholics are Christians. If a non-Catholic Christian desires to marry a Catholic and vice versa the Church usually will not allow the marriage unless the non-Catholic party converts. In some situations the Catholic can apply for a dispensation to marry someone outside his/her Faith, but whether this is granted is ultimately up to the parish priest. For the dispensation to go through, the non-Catholic party must submit their baptismal record, must agree to have the wedding in a Catholic church presided over by a Catholic priest and agree that in the future they will not interfere with the practice of the Catholic faith of their spouse as well as agree that any children are reared Catholic. These restrictions are both to discourage mixed marriages as well as protect the faith of the Catholic party and its transmission to the next generation.

Can a divorced Catholic man who's first marriage was outside the church marry a non-Catholic woman in a Catholic church without an annulment?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, anytime there is an attempt at marriage on record, that attempt must first be declared void before the Church can perform a marriage. So if there was a first marriage - regardless of the circumstances, it must still be declared null and void before permission can be granted for a marriage. Speak to your parish priest about this as soon as possible as annulment is long and involved. The Church normally assumes the attempted marriage was valid when beginning an investigation, and all judgments must be appealed to Rome. However, if you were a Catholic when you attempted a marriage outside the Church, in this instance, they will probably assume that there was not a valid marriage and the annulment might not take as long.
